A New Riding Club for Brooklyn About two weeks ago the Prospect Park Saddle and Bridle Club came into existence. Meetings are, now being held every Wednesday evening in Henry Deegan's Riding School, at 471 Flatbush Avenue. For the present membership is to be limited to thirty, for lack of adequate space makes it inadvisable to increase the list, As soon as a suitable site can be located, it is the members' intention to erect a club building that will be a credit to Brooklyn and which will accommodate a far greater number.

Of course, by this time the club will be legally incorporated. The initiation fee is one hundred dollars. The amount of the annual dues has not vet been decided unon. Mrs. Payne's "Current Tbpics" The second in a series of twelve talks on current topics by Jessica Lozier Payne was held on Thursday morning, November 20th, in the Music Hall of the Brooklyn Academy of Music Mrs.

Payne began with an analysis of the British Election, and the "writer was surprised to learn' that' it was in Ramsey McDonald's power to choose his own issue on which to be thrown out of office, and as is generally known, he did not go down on the question of the Irish boundary or the recognition of soviet Russia, but on the cessation of his prosecution of an article coquetting with Bolshevism, which was printed in Socialist paper. After telling many interesting thing's' about Stanley Baldwin and' his new cabinet, the question" which England has to face in Egypt and the Near East, Mrs. Payne Went on to her second topic, "The Crisis in Italy," and from that to "How Red is America Under this topic, among other things, she said that the shrinking of the so-called Progressive Party in our late election served the purpose of showing that there is no fear of radicalism in this She quoted an article from the October Scribners, by Edwin Heillinger, in which he writes that he has been through Russia and joined the workers in America to see how much Bolshevism was in this country. He said it was a class measure, and was not- found among the laboring people; but was supported by the seamen of the Pacific Coast, and that its strongest hold is among the Parlor Bolshevists, made up largely of teachers college professors, and often persons of wealth. There is no economic urge upon the laboring classes now.

Mrs. Payne told about the Labor Banks, where the workman feels at home and shares in the earnings of the bank. His money is compounded quarterly. One per cent is paid on accounts. The Bank finds safe invest- ments for him, and wildcat schemes for getting his money are exposed to him.

He begins to understand the problems of the capitalist, so that these Labor Banks make for a better understanding. They break down class lines, and turn the laboring man into a capitalist. Mrs. Payne's last "topic was "The Child Labor Amendment," in which she urged that the people read and understand thoroughly the wording of the Amendment, Faith Home Bridge and Man Jongg The bridge and Mah Jongg for Faith Home for In-, curables in the ballroom of the Hotel St. George on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 18th, was a decided success both socially and financially.

two hundred tables of bridge were played. The prizes were most attractive bottles of perfumery. Mrs. Arthur Bellows was chairman of the bridge committee and was assisted by Mrs. John H.

Greener, chairman of tickets, and Mrs. Birt F. Parsons, Mrs. Charles F. Bandel, Mrs.

Edwin Gilson, Mrs. Charles A. Little and Mrs. William R. Taylor.

Mrs. William J. Weller was chairman of the reception committee and was assisted by Mrs, William McCarroll, Mrs. Roy M. Hart and Mrs.

1 Charles S. Burr. Mrs. Burr was also chairman of the sales committee and was ably supported by Mrs. Rich G.

Hollaman, in charge of the fancy table; Mrs. Abel E. Blackmar, in charge of Utility table; Mrs." Alonzo B. See, in charge of cake table; Mrs. William A.

Higgins, in charge of candy table, and Mrs. John B. Oiler, in charge of refreshment table. Mrs. Oiler was assisted by her committee and also members of the Junior Auxiliary, who served the fruit punch and weret vendors for the boxes of candies.

Music, rides, indoor polo, melees, jumping, exhibitions and ladies' nights are planned among other activities. By the spring it will be decided by the members whether -they are to ride outdoors in the park on Wednesday mornings or evenings. For the convenience of those who might want to leave town over Christmas and New Year's, the rides of those two weeks' will be held on Tuesday evenings. 1 There is still room for a few more names on the club's membership list.
